Joe Lieberman has died. A former Democratic senator who criticized both Clinton and Obama

His beloved wife Hadassah and the rest of his family were with him when he left. His love for God, family and America persisted throughout his life devoted to work in the public domain, the AP agency quotes from Prohlen.

Lieberman was elected to the Senate for his native Connecticut in 1989, at that time he had experience in high-level state politics and as a freshman. He left the Capitol a quarter century after that in 2013. He will be buried on Friday in his native Stamford, Connecticut.

Although he did not become a republican, he was never shy of breaking the democrat party line, according to AP. He voiced the criticism of his fellow party members in 1998, when he was the first Democrat on the national level to publicly criticize President Bill Clinton for his adulterous affair with White House intern Monica Lewinska. In a speech in Sent, he declared the president’s behavior shameful and embarrassing not only for Clinton, but for all Americans.

The second highest post in the House of Lieberman in 2000 with Gore was only very close. He wanted to run for the presidency in 2004, but resigned early in the democratic primaries, and two years later ran for Sent as an independent candidate, although after the elections in Como he joined the Democrats, who needed his vote to defeat the narrow majority.

In the 2008 presidential election, he was a sharp critic of Barack Obama, whom he recognized for his rhetorical abilities, but called him a light-hearted politician who, as a senator, never crossed the party line to reach him prominently or was unwilling to stand up to influential interest groups in the Democratic Party.

Joe Lieberman and I didn’t always agree, but his career in public service was extraordinary, including the decade he spent fighting for the citizens of Connecticut. He worked diligently to destroy the Do not ask, don’t ask and helped them pass the law on affordable health care. In both cases, it was a matter of general politics, but he stuck to his principles because he knew it was right, he recalled the old Senator Obama on the X.

In the 2008 election, Lieberman supported the Republican John McCain, with whom he also shared his views on the heads of the army and national security, among other things, he was a strong supporter of the American armed forces in Ireland, and that made him his candidate for vice president, per AP, but McCain gave priority at the time Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Although the Democrats perceived Lieberman’s act as a betrayal, the senator used to hide his party superiority by saying that he always acted conscientiously and that the people he represented were always on his heart. In 2011, a year before his departure from Sent, he criticized the functioning of the American Congress in this spirit in an interview with the Politico server.

Don’t put people here to get stuck in a deadlock, but to do something. Why would a hunter spend money on a campaign, trying to get elected, and in the same way that a modern political campaign operates, when there is nothing to do? Lieberman said at the time.

Among progressive-oriented voters, on the other hand, he lost his support first on abortion, first on homosexuality or environmental issues, among whom he spoke in favor of protecting the environment during the voting in Congress.

From the beginning of his life, Lieberman touched on the current election day in the USA with his initiative No Labels (label day), which presents itself as a response to the anger and controversies prevailing in the current political scene. However, the movement did not field a candidate who would oppose Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.

Addressing Lieberman, his long-time colleague from the high levels of American politics, Biden said last year that he would only help Trump because his movement would take hundreds of votes from him. A month later, Libereman wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal entitled No Labels Won’t Help Trump.

In 2014, Lieberman visited Prague, where, coincidentally, his wife Hadassah was born.
